2023 Nebraska Corporation Income Tax Return
Instructions

What’s New
Corporate Tax Rate Change (LB 432). For the 2023 taxable year the corporate tax rate for
Nebraska taxable income in excess of $100,000 is reduced from 7.50% to 7.25%. The corporate
rate for the first $100,000 of Nebraska taxable income remains 5.58%.
Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET) (LB 754). A partnership or S corporation may elect to be
subject to Nebraska income tax for tax years beginning on and after January 1, 2018. The
partners and shareholders of an electing entity will receive a refundable credit for their share
of the PTETs paid by the electing entity.
Nebraska Employer Tax Credit for Employing Convicted Felons (LB 917). Employers may
receive a nonrefundable credit for wages paid to an employee convicted of a felony. The
credit is equal to 10% of the wages paid to the employee during the taxable year. The credit
is limited to $20,000 for each eligible employee and applies to the wages paid during the
first 12 months of employment. The employer must file an application with the Nebraska
Department of Revenue (DOR) to receive the credit.	

Important Information for All Filers
Purpose. The instructions in this booklet provide guidance in completing the most common
Nebraska corporation income tax forms and schedules. This booklet is intended to be useful to
the greatest number of taxpayers. Nothing in these instructions supersedes, alters, or otherwise
changes any provisions of the Nebraska tax code, regulations, rulings, or court decisions.
We encourage the preparer of any Corporation Income Tax Return, Form 1120N, to review
applicable Nebraska law regarding any issue that may have a material effect on this return.
Nebraska law and other useful information may be found at revenue.nebraska.gov.
Income Subject to Nebraska Taxation. Nebraska income tax applies to the portion of the
corporate taxpayer’s taxable income derived from or attributable to sources within Nebraska.
A corporate taxpayer that is subject to tax in another state must apportion its income, unless
approval has been granted by the Tax Commissioner for an alternative method prior to
filing the return.
If a corporate taxpayer engaged in business in Nebraska is not subject to tax in another state,
its entire taxable income must be reported to Nebraska.
Combined Return. When a group of corporations conducts a unitary business, a single combined
return must be filed reporting the income of the entire group. A unitary group engaged in
business within and without Nebraska will determine its Nebraska income using a single
factor, sales only, apportionment formula. See the Nebraska Schedule I — Apportionment
for Multistate Business instructions for additional information.
Enter All Amounts as Whole Dollars. Do not include cents on the return or schedules. Do not
change the pre-printed zeros in the cents column of the Form 1120N or schedules. Round
any amount from 50 cents to 99 cents to the next higher dollar. Round any amount less than
50 cents to the next lower dollar.
Penalties and Interest. Either or both may be imposed under the following conditions:
	 u	Failing to file a return and pay the tax due on or before the due date;
	 u	Failing to pay the tax due on or before the due date;
											u	Failing to file an amended Nebraska income tax return when required;
	 u	Preparing or filing a fraudulent income tax return; or
	 u	Understating income on an income tax return.

revenue.nebraska.gov

Filing a false or fraudulent Nebraska return is subject to penalty, even if the amounts reported
are taken from your federal return. Unpaid tax is subject to interest at the statutory rate of
5% from the original due date to the date the tax is paid. See Revenue Ruling 99-22-1 for
applicable interest rates.
Reporting Changes or Corrections. If information on a Nebraska corporation income tax
return previously filed is incorrect, an Amended Nebraska Corporation Income Tax Return,
Form 1120XN, must be filed. When filing an amended return, remember:
									u	Changes made by the IRS or another state must be reported to DOR within 60 days; and
									u	You must attach a copy of the related federal or other state amended return and all
related schedules or other documentation to explain the changes shown on the amended
Nebraska return.
Any corporation filing an amended return with the IRS, resulting in a credit or refund, must
report the change or correction within 60 days after receiving proof that the IRS accepted the
federal return. The Nebraska amended return must include documentation showing that the
IRS accepted the changes made on the federal return.
Corporate taxpayers are required to provide DOR with a copy of every executed Federal
Form  872, Consent to Extend the Time to Assess Tax; Form 872-A, Special Consent to
Extend the Time to Assess Tax; or any other federal form used to extend the time to assess
income taxes. If copies of these federal forms are not provided to DOR within 30 days after
they are executed, DOR may issue a notice of deficiency determination within one year after
discovery of the extension by DOR and may limit the time period for which interest is paid
on a refund.
Nebraska Extension of Time. An extension to file may only be obtained by:
	 u	Attaching a copy of a timely-filed Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File
Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other Returns, Federal Form 7004,
to the Nebraska return when filed;
	 u	Attaching a schedule to the Nebraska return listing the federal confirmation number
and providing an explanation that the electronic request for automatic federal extension
was not denied; or
	 u	Filing a Nebraska Application for Extension of Time to File Corporation, Fiduciary,
or Partnership Return, Form 7004N, on or before the due date of the return, when you
need to make a tentative Nebraska payment or when a federal extension is not being
requested. When a federal extension of time has been granted, and additional time is
necessary to file the Nebraska return, the Nebraska Form 7004N must be filed on or
before the date the federal extension expires. Remember to attach proof of the federal
extension to the Form 7004N.
Failure to attach the applicable extension document may result in a late filing penalty. An
extension of time only extends the date to file the return. It does not extend the due date
to pay the tax. Any tax not paid by the original due date is subject to interest. By timely
requesting an extension of time to file your federal return using the Federal Form 7004, you
are granted an automatic Nebraska extension for the same number of months granted by the
IRS. When a federal extension of time has been granted and additional time is necessary to
file the Nebraska return, the Nebraska Form 7004N must be filed on or before the date the
federal extension expires. An extension of time cannot exceed a total of seven months after
the original due date of the return.
Accounting Methods. The accounting method used for federal income tax purposes must be
used for Nebraska income tax purposes. A taxpayer may not change the accounting method
used to report income in prior years, unless the change is approved by the IRS. A copy of this
approval must accompany the first return that shows the change in the method of accounting.
Federal Return. A copy of the federal return and supporting schedules, as filed with the IRS,
must be attached to this return. This includes, at a minimum, a copy of the first five pages,
Schedule  D, Form 4797, and other supporting schedules of the Federal Form 1120. If a
consolidated federal return is filed, a copy of the consolidating schedules or workpapers for
income and expenses, cost of goods sold, and balance sheets, as well as the Affiliations Schedule,
Form 851, must also be attached. Provide copies of schedules and other information that
revenue.nebraska.gov

support the numbers reported on the Nebraska return. Other voluminous information that
is part of the federal return filed, but that is not directly related to the Nebraska reporting,
may be kept by the taxpayer, but must be made available upon request. A pro-forma federal
return is not acceptable. The Nebraska return is based upon the actual federal return as filed
or prepared for filing.
Estimated Income Tax Payments. Estimated income tax payments must be made by every
corporation subject to taxation under the IRC, with income derived from Nebraska, if the
Nebraska income tax liability can reasonably be expected to exceed allowable credits by $400
or more. For additional information, see the 2024 Nebraska Corporation Estimated Income
Tax Payment Voucher Booklet.
Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax Penalty. A corporation may owe a penalty if the
amount of tax due, after allowable credits, is $400 or more.
If the amount of tax due is $400 or more, the corporation must complete a Corporation
Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax, Form 2220N, to calculate any applicable penalty.
A corporation may reduce or eliminate the penalty by using the annualized income or adjusted
seasonal installment method. To use one or both of these methods to calculate one or more
required installments, recalculate (and attach) the Federal Form 2220, Schedule A, “Adjusted
Seasonal Installment Method and Annualized Income Installment Method” using Nebraska
income and other Nebraska amounts. Enter the corresponding amount from the recalculated
Federal Schedule A on the appropriate lines of the Form 2220N.
Adjustment of Overpayment of Estimated Income Tax. A corporation that overpaid estimated
income tax must use the Corporation Application for Adjustment of Overpayment of Estimated
Income Tax, Form 4466N, to apply for refund of the overpayment when the overpayment is:
	 u	At least 10% more than the expected tax liability calculated on the Form 4466N; and
	 u	At least $500.
Form 4466N must be filed by the 15th day of the third month after the end of the tax year
and before the corporation files its corporation income tax return. A Form 4466N filed after
this date will not be considered. An extension of time to file the corporation income tax return
will not extend the time for filing Form 4466N.

Use Tax 	 					A corporation may be subject to use tax. A corporation owes use tax when the proper sales
tax has not been paid on purchases delivered into Nebraska. This often occurs when purchases
are made from out-of-state, mail order, or Internet sellers. Use tax is also due when items
purchased for resale are withdrawn from inventory for business or personal use.
Example 1.
The corporation purchased a computer from a seller in South Dakota over the Internet
for $1,570 plus $30 shipping and handling charges. Both charges are taxable. The
computer is shipped to the corporation in Scottsbluff, Nebraska and no tax is charged
or collected by the seller. The state tax is $88 ($1,600 X 5.5%) and the local tax is $24
($1,600 X 1.5%). The total use tax owed is $112 ($88 + $24 = $112).
Example 2.
A repair shop in Scottsbluff, Nebraska provides motor vehicle repair service. The repair
shop also owns a tow truck used for towing customers’ motor vehicles needing repair.
The shop purchases oil and oil filters tax exempt for resale using the Nebraska Resale
or Exempt Sale Certificate, Form 13. When oil and oil filters are removed from sales
tax exempt inventory and used to change the oil in the business-owned tow truck, state
and local use tax is due on the cost of the oil and oil filters.
For additional information, see the Nebraska Use Tax Information Guide.

Purpose of Form 		 The Nebraska Corporation Income Tax Return, Form 1120N, is used to report income,
gains, losses, deductions, and credits, and to calculate the income tax liability of the
corporate taxpayer.

Who Must File?
The Nebraska Corporation Income Tax Return, Form 1120N, must be filed by every
corporation engaged in business in Nebraska, or having sources of income from Nebraska
and subject to federal corporation income tax. This includes:
									u	
Cooperative organizations. Cooperative organizations must file Form 1120N. Exempt farm
cooperatives must attach their U.S. Income Tax Return for Cooperative Associations,
Form 1120-C. Cooperatives may exclude patronage dividends, dividends on capital
stock, and nonpatronage income allocated to patrons that are allowable deductions
or exclusions for federal income tax purposes.
									u	Exempt organizations. All exempt organizations required to file a federal return and
pay tax at the federal corporation income tax rates on unrelated business income are
required to file the Form 1120N.
Corporations that must file a different Nebraska return:
											u	S corporations. Corporations that have elected to file under Subchapter S, as defined
by IRC § 1361, file a Nebraska S Corporation Income Tax Return, Form 1120-SN.
											u	Financial institutions. Institutions that are chartered or qualified to do business in
Nebraska, or maintain a permanent place of business in Nebraska and actively solicit
deposits from residents of Nebraska must file a Nebraska Financial Institution Tax
Return, Form 1120NF.

When and Where to File
This return must be filed on or before the date the related federal income tax return is due.
Use the Federal/State e-file program to e-file both federal and state tax returns. Or mail the
Form 1120N to:
											Nebraska Department of Revenue
											PO Box 94818
											Lincoln, NE 68509-4818

How to Complete Form 1120N
Tax Period. A 2023 Form 1120N must be used to file for the calendar year 2023, or a fiscal
year beginning in 2023. Space is provided at the top of the return to enter the beginning and
ending dates for short-period or fiscal-year filers. The taxable year for Nebraska must be the
same as the taxable year used for the federal income tax return.
If a corporation changes its federal taxable year, it must also change its Nebraska taxable
year. A copy of the approval from the IRS to change accounting periods must accompany
the first return that shows the change.
Business Classification Code. Enter the six-digit code that best describes the corporation’s
principal business activity in Nebraska. Carefully review the business classification codes
before you select one.
Principal Business Activity in Nebraska. Enter the principal business activity of the corporation
from the Business Classification Code listing.
Federal ID Number. Enter the Federal ID number assigned to the corporation by the IRS.

revenue.nebraska.gov

5

Nebraska ID Number. Enter the Nebraska ID number assigned to the corporation by DOR.
Corporations that do not have a Nebraska state ID for corporate income tax should e-file
using their Nebraska income tax withholding or sales tax number. The prefix (for example, 24-)
is not part of the state ID number and should not be included in the number. Corporations
that do not have an existing Nebraska state ID, should apply using DOR’s Online Nebraska
Tax Application.
Final Return. Check the “Final Return” box if the corporation will not file a Nebraska
corporate return after the 2023 tax year. This may occur when the corporation ceases to
exist due to dissolution or merger, or when the corporation will be included in a new unitary
group of corporations filed under a different Nebraska ID number.
Corporation Filing Status. All taxpayers must complete this portion of the return and answer
all questions applicable to the corporation’s status.
Question A. Check “Yes” if any of the following conditions apply:
	 u	The corporation was included in a federal consolidated return;
	 u	The corporation owns 50% or more of another corporation; or
	 u	The corporation is owned at least 50% by another corporation.
	 If none of the above conditions apply, check “No” and skip questions B, C, and D.
Question B. Check “Yes” if this return includes the income, deductions, or credits of all
corporations with common ownership.
Check “No” if one or more of the corporations with common ownership are not included
in this return.
Question C. Check “Yes” if a return filed in any other state included the income, deductions,
or credits of more than one corporation.
Check “No” if the returns filed in all other states included only your corporation.
Question D. Under Nebraska law, a unitary group generally encompasses all corporations
included in the federal consolidated income tax return. Therefore, only under extremely unusual
circumstances may a corporation compute its Nebraska liability using the “separate report
by a member of a controlled group of corporations” method. Documentation supporting
the separate company filing should be attached to the Nebraska return when filed. This
documentation must show that the corporation is not part of a single economic unit as defined
in section .08 of Corporate Income Tax Regulation 24-058, Definitions.

Line 1 							Federal Gross Sales or Receipts, Less Returns and Allowances. Enter the amount of federal
gross sales or receipts reported on Federal Form 1120, less returns and allowances. If the
corporate taxpayer is filing a combined Form 1120N, enter the amount of combined gross
receipts or sales less returns and allowances from Nebraska Schedule IV.

Line 2 							Federal Taxable Income (FTI). Enter the federal taxable income. A unitary group must enter
the amount from line 30, Nebraska Schedule IV.

Line 3 							Adjustments Increasing FTI. Enter the amount from line 10, Nebraska Schedule A.
The federal deduction for state income tax is not an adjustment increasing federal
taxable income.
State and local government bond interest and dividend income should be included on line 3.
See the instructions for line 1, Nebraska Schedule A.

Line 4 							Adjustments Decreasing FTI. Enter the amount from line 20, Nebraska Schedule A.
Line 5								Adjusted FTI. Enter line 2 plus line 3 minus line 4.
Line 6								Nebraska Taxable Income Before Nebraska Carryovers. If all of the income earned by the
corporation is derived from Nebraska sources, enter the amount from line 5 on line 6.

Corporate taxpayers that derive income from sources within and without Nebraska and are
taxable in another state, must enter the amount from line 3, Nebraska Schedule I, Form 1120N.

6

revenue.nebraska.gov

Line 7								Nebraska Capital Loss Carryover. Enter the allowable Nebraska capital loss carryover.

For a multistate taxpayer, a Nebraska capital loss consists of the loss on property that was
used by the unitary business that did business in Nebraska, multiplied by the Nebraska
apportionment factor for the year of the loss. If the corporate taxpayer reported a capital
loss on corporate stock or other assets, the income from which was not previously treated as
income apportionable to Nebraska, the loss cannot be treated as a Nebraska loss. Capital loss
carryovers may only be deducted to the extent of capital gains in the year of the deduction.
Attach a detailed schedule that shows the computation of the capital loss carryover along
with copies of the applicable Federal Schedule D to substantiate the Federal capital (loss)/
gain. A Nebraska capital loss may only be carried forward, and only for a maximum period of
five tax years.

Line 8 							Nebraska Taxable Income After Nebraska Capital Loss Carryover. Enter line 6 minus line 7.
Line 9								Nebraska Net Operating Loss Carryover. Enter the allowable Nebraska net operating loss
(NOL) carryover. The amount allowable is based on the loss previously reported to Nebraska,
and is not based on a percentage of the federal carryover. Any net operating loss can only
be carried forward. An NOL incurred in tax years beginning on and after January 1, 2014,
may be carried forward for a maximum period of 20 tax years. Nebraska imposes limitations
on the use of a NOL carryforward after certain reorganizations and mergers, when a NOL
incurred in years after 2017 is carried forward to a year after 2020, and when a corporation
with a Nebraska NOL carryforward becomes a member of a unitary group. For additional
information, see Corporate Income Tax Regulation 24-060, Net Operating Losses and Capital
Losses. If any of the limitations apply to the NOL carryforward reported on this return,
attach a schedule showing the computation of the allowable carryforward.
Attach a Nebraska Corporation Net Operating Loss Worksheet showing the calculation of
the amount of Nebraska net operating loss carryover. If the Nebraska NOL carryforward
was increased due to reclassifying part or all of the charitable contribution carryforward,
details of the reclassification and the NOL modification must be provided.

Line 10							 Net Nebraska Taxable Income. Enter line 8 minus line 9.
Line 11							Nebraska Tax. Use the following tax rate schedule to calculate the amount of total Nebraska
tax to enter on line 11.

must use the rate in effect on the following January 1st.
Insurance Companies. Check the box to indicate you are an insurance company. The tax rate

Electronic Payment Options

Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW). With this payment option, you provide your
payment information within your electronically-filed return. Your payment will
automatically be withdrawn from your bank account on the date you specify.
Nebraska e-pay. Nebraska e-pay is DOR’s web-based electronic payment system. You
enter your payment and bank account information, and choose a date (up to a year
in advance) to have your account debited. You will receive an email confirmation for
each payment scheduled.
ACH Credit. You (or your bank) create an electronic file in the appropriate ACH file
format. It is submitted to the Federal Reserve and instructs your bank to “credit” the
state’s bank account.
Nebraska Tele-pay. Nebraska Tele-pay is DOR’s phone-based electronic payment
system. Call 800-232-0057, enter your payment and bank account information, and

appear on your credit card statement separately from the payment made to DOR. At
the end of your transaction, you will be given a confirmation number. Keep this number
for your records. [If you are making your credit card payment by phone, you will need
to provide the Nebraska Jurisdiction Code, which is 3700.]

Nebraska Schedule I Instructions
Apportionment for Multistate Business
Purpose. The Nebraska Schedule I is used to determine the amount of Nebraska source
income (Form 1120N, line 6, Nebraska taxable income before Nebraska carryovers) received
by a corporation that derives income from within and without Nebraska.
Nebraska source income is determined by apportioning the corporate income using a single,
sales only factor. Apportionment refers to the division of income between states by the use
of a formula containing one or more apportionment factors.
Sales Factor. The sales factor is a fraction. The numerator is the total sales of the corporate
taxpayer in Nebraska during the taxable year. The denominator is the total sales of the
corporate taxpayer everywhere during the taxable year. Total sales include gross sales of
real and tangible personal property, less returns and allowances, and all other items of gross
receipts, except income for the discharge of indebtedness, amounts received from hedging
transactions involving intangible assets, and net gains from marketable securities held for
investment. The sales factor on this schedule is rounded to six decimal places. It is entered
as a percentage.
When a corporate taxpayer consists of two or more corporations engaged in a unitary
business, a part of which is conducted in Nebraska, the income of the corporate taxpayer
apportioned to Nebraska is determined by applying the ratio of the corporate taxpayer’s
sales in Nebraska to the sales of the entire unitary group. The corporate taxpayer’s sales
in Nebraska should include only those sales made by members of the unitary group with
nexus in this state. Each corporate taxpayer must file one income tax return for the entire
group. The return will include all corporations in the unitary business. Any corporation that
is required, or has received permission, to use an alternative apportionment formula, may
only be included in a return with other corporations using the same apportionment formula.
For tax years beginning January 1, 2014 or after, a corporation may no longer use the costs
of performance method of apportioning sales other than sales of tangible personal property
except for a corporation operating as a communications company. For additional information,
see the Nebraska Apportionment Factor - Sales or Gross Receipts section.
A corporation using an alternative method of apportionment must attach a copy of the
Tax Commissioner’s prior written approval of the alternative method. The alternative
apportionment factor computation must be included. Enter the factor on line 2, Nebraska
Schedule I.
NOTE: Approval of an alternative method of apportionment is rare.
Intercompany sales between unitary corporations using the combined income approach are
excluded from the sales factor.
If the corporate taxpayer is a partner in a partnership or joint venture, see Business Entity
Regulation 24-315, Sales Factor; Business Entities As Owners in a Partnership or Joint Venture.
A corporate taxpayer that operates a trucking business and has income from both within
and without this state, must compute its sales factor in accordance with Business Income
Tax Regulation 24‑343, Special Apportionment Rules; All Tax Years; Trucking Companies.
The method of computing the sales factor must be consistent with prior tax years and with the
corporate taxpayer’s filings in other states. If the corporation modifies the basis for including
or excluding gross receipts in the sales factor used in returns for prior years, the 2023 return
must disclose the nature and extent of the modification.
If the corporation files returns with other states that are not uniform in the inclusion or
exclusion of gross receipts, the Form 1120N filed with DOR must disclose the nature and
extent of the variance.

proportion to the percentage of time the property was located in Nebraska;
	 P	
For sales not specifically addressed above, sales to an individual if the individual's
billing address is in Nebraska, and sales to a business if the business places its
order from Nebraska or the billing address of the business if the ordering place

Nebraska Schedule II Instructions
Foreign Dividend and Special Foreign Tax Credit Deduction
Purpose. The Nebraska Schedule II is used to calculate the deduction for dividends included
in federal taxable income (line 30, Federal Form 1120) from corporations whose dividends do
not qualify for the dividends received deduction under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) § 243.
In addition, an adjustment is allowed for income that is taxed by a foreign country, or one
of its political subdivisions, at a rate in excess of the maximum federal corporate tax rate.
The adjustment can be made for each foreign country or group of foreign countries. The
amount of federal taxable income from operations within a foreign taxing jurisdiction must
be reduced by the amount of taxes actually paid to the foreign jurisdiction that are not
deductible solely because the foreign tax credit was elected on the federal income tax return.
The amount of after-tax income is then divided by one minus the maximum tax rate for
corporations in the IRC. The result of this calculation is subtracted from the amount of
federal taxable income from foreign operations.
The difference is reported in the total adjustments decreasing FTI computed on Nebraska
Schedule A, and is included as an adjustment to federal taxable income on line 4, Form 1120N.
Schedule C, Federal Form 1120, and Parts A and B of Federal Form 1118 must be attached.

Line 1								Dividends From Foreign Corporations and Certain FSCs Subject to the IRC § 245 Deduction.
Enter the total of lines 6 and 7, column (a), Schedule C, Federal Form 1120; or lines 6 and

Enter the result of line 1 minus line 2.

Line 4								Other Dividends From Foreign Corporations. Enter the amount from line 14, Schedule C,

Federal Form 1120, or line 15, Schedule A, Federal Form 1120-L. A U.S. life insurance
company claiming a deduction for “Other corporate dividends” from line 19, Schedule A,
Federal Form 1120-L, must include a detailed description of the dividends claimed.

Line 5								Income From Controlled Foreign Corporations Under Subpart F Treated as a Foreign Dividend

Special Foreign Tax Credit Deduction Computation
										

Most subpart F inclusions reported on Federal Schedule C, line 16c are not foreign dividends
or deemed foreign dividends under the IRC. Attach a copy of Federal Schedule C; Forms
5471; Schedules I, Form 5471. The above forms and schedules do not identify any amount
reported on line 16c as a dividend or deemed dividend. Therefore, you must also attach
